Roasty, Bitter, Caffeinated, Brawny
Big and robust, White Electric never wavers from its roastiness. Revival makes good use of coffee, there’s more than enough flavor from the beans to hold up in this massive Stout. It’s bitter and aggressive, smooth and creamy. A big beer with sweetness kept to a minimum. There are some contrasting elements here that have melded quite well together. Meanwhile, the roasted character just keeps hammering away sip after sip. A very enjoyable beer, but not for timid palates. [Jason]

Poured into a Duvel tulip. Label says freshest before date notched, notch is on November.

A- Pours a fully opaque black color with a 3/4 inch light tan head that retains well before becoming a thick ring around the edge of the glass and a full sheet of surface foam. Resilient lacing leaves a broken ring behind.

S- Earthy aroma with some mild coffee roast. Slightly sweet-smelling.

T- Balanced flavor of malty sweetness and medium roast coffee. ABV is hidden quite well. Some hop bitterness as well as roast bitterness.

M- Sharp from the hops and roast with medium carbonation and a fullish body.

O- While the bitterness gets to be a bit much as the drink progresses, this is a decently executed coffee stout that I would order again if I saw it on draft somewhere.

On nitro-tap 10/12/2014 at Doherty’s Ale East Ave Irish Pub in Pawtucket, RI, served in a tulip glass.

A: The beer is a deep dark brown color, with a large dense light brown head that fades very slowly and leaves a thick lace on the glass.

S: The aroma contains roasted malts, coffee and some chocolate.

T: The taste starts out very creamy with flavors of coffee and chocolate followed by a hearty roasted malt character. The coffee flavor strengthens as you continue to drink the beer. The hops presence is very mild but complementary and brings a decent balance. The after-taste is slightly bitter-sweet.
